Research and Textures

Taylor and I reckon that it's best to go for a fabric couch rather than leather. Fabric has a more homely vibe and goes well with the rest of the furniture. Greys and blues are probably the best way to go, but the lighting will have this effect on the couch anyway due to the lighting being rather cold plus lots of the furniture will be in the dark (should be a blue tone).
I had a look at patterned fabric and plain fabric for the couch. There's not much similarities with the fabrics I chose, but I will show the group and we will come to a final decision. This also goes for the other textures. Plus I'm not necessarily choosing fabrics that I like, as a few of them a pre ugly),

I originally had dark wood in mind for the bookshelf, but after doing some research I reckon that any wood would be fine. It will most likely turn out dark anyway as the light source isn't on the bookshelf and the room will be dimly lit.This goes the same for the coffee table.
